Piezo switches are also known as Piezoelectric switches. The switches are an electronic switch that uses the piezoelectric effect converting mechanical energy into an electrical signal. The switch does not use mechanical components like springs or buttons to activate or deactivate electrical circuits. A Piezo switch has many advantages over standard mechanical switches because as they contain no moving parts, they are exceptionally durable, have a longer working life and are suitable for extreme environments.
